INTRODUCTION

The present disclosure relates generally to communication systems, andmore particularly, to sidelink communication based on multiple radioaccess technologies (RATs).

Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide varioustelecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging,and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employmultiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication withmultiple users by sharing available system resources. Examples of suchmultiple-access technologies include code division multiple access(CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequencydivision multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency divisionmultiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency divisionmultiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, and time division synchronous codedivision multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems.

These multiple access technologies have been adopted in varioustelecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enablesdifferent wireless devices to communicate on a municipal, national,regional, and even global level. An example telecommunication standardis 5G New Radio (NR). 5G NR is part of a continuous mobile broadbandevolution promulgated by Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) tomeet new requirements associated with latency, reliability, security,scalability (e.g., with Internet of Things (IoT)), and otherrequirements. 5G NR includes services associated with enhanced mobilebroadband (eMBB), massive machine type communications (mMTC), andultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC). Some aspects of 5G NRmay be based on the 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard. There existsa need for further improvements in 5G NR technology. These improvementsmay also be applicable to other multi-access technologies and thetelecommunication standards that employ these technologies.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The detailed description set forth below in connection with the appendeddrawings is intended as a description of various configurations and isnot intended to represent the only configurations in which the conceptsdescribed herein may be practiced. The detailed description includesspecific details for the purpose of providing a thorough understandingof various concepts. However, it will be apparent to those skilled inthe art that these concepts may be practiced without these specificdetails. In some instances, well known structures and components areshown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring such concepts.

Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented withreference to various apparatus and methods. These apparatus and methodswill be described in the following detailed description and illustratedin the accompanying drawings by various blocks, components, circuits,processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as “elements”).These elements may be implemented using electronic hardware, computersoftware, or any combination thereof. Whether such elements areimplemented as hardware or software depends upon the particularapplication and design constraints imposed on the overall system.

By way of example, an element, or any portion of an element, or anycombination of elements may be implemented as a “processing system” thatincludes one or more processors. Examples of processors includemicroprocessors, microcontrollers, graphics processing units (GPUs),central processing units (CPUs), application processors, digital signalprocessors (DSPs), reduced instruction set computing (RISC) processors,systems on a chip (SoC), baseband processors, field programmable gatearrays (FPGAs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), state machines, gatedlogic, discrete hardware circuits, and other suitable hardwareconfigured to perform the various functionality described throughoutthis disclosure. One or more processors in the processing system mayexecute software. Software shall be construed broadly to meaninstructions, instruction sets, code, code segments, program code,programs, subprograms, software components, applications, softwareapplications, software packages, routines, subroutines, objects,executables, threads of execution, procedures, functions, etc., whetherreferred to as software, firmware, middleware, microcode, hardwaredescription language, or otherwise.

Accordingly, in one or more examples, the functions described may beimplemented in hardware, software, or any combination thereof. Ifimplemented in software, the functions may be stored on or encoded asone or more instructions or code on a computer-readable medium.Computer-readable media includes computer storage media. Storage mediamay be any available media that can be accessed by a computer. By way ofexample, and not limitation, such computer-readable media can comprise arandom-access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an electricallyerasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), optical disk storage, magnetic diskstorage, other magnetic storage devices, combinations of theaforementioned types of computer-readable media, or any other mediumthat can be used to store computer executable code in the form ofinstructions or data structures that can be accessed by a computer.

Some wireless communication may be exchanged directly between wirelessdevices based on sidelink or a PC5 interface rather than being exchangedbetween a UE and a base station on an access link or Uu link. An exampleof sidelink communication includes vehicle-to-everything (V2X)communication. Other examples of sidelink communication include deviceto device (D2D), Proximity Services (ProSe), etc. In some examples,sidelink communications between different sets of sidelink devices andbased on different radio access technologies (RATs) may use overlappingfrequency resources, e.g., overlapping channels. Therefore, atransmission based on a first sidelink RAT may use frequency resourcesthat may overlap with transmissions for a second sidelink RAT. In someexample, the sidelink communications between the different sets ofsidelink devices for the different RATs may collide, e.g., may betransmitted on overlapping time and frequency resources. The collidingsidelink transmissions may negatively impact system performances of thedifferent RATs.

The term “sidelink transmission resources” may refer to radio resourcessuch as frequency and time resources used for sidelink transmission.Sidelink transmission resources may be selected from a pool of resourcesfor sidelink transmissions, which may be referred to as a “sidelinkresource pool” that defines subsets of time resources and resourceblocks available for various sidelink transmission/receptions. Withinthe sidelink resource pool, a set of resources may be selected/definedas a “candidate resource set” that includes resources available ascandidates of resources to be used for a particular transmission. Theterm “reserved resources” may refer to radio resources reserved for atransmission, whether reserved by the UE or by other sidelink UEs.

Aspects presented herein enable a sidelink device that operates based ona first sidelink RAT to consider wireless resources that may be used forsidelink communication of a second sidelink RAT when selecting resourcesfor sidelink transmissions to other sidelink devices operating based onthe first sidelink RAT. For example, a UE (or other sidelink device)that operates based on NR may exclude, from a candidate resource set,one or more resources that are reserved by an LTE sidelink device. Thus,the NR sidelink device may select a resource for a sidelink transmissionthat does not overlap with the one or more resources reserved by the LTEsidelink device. It should be noted that the example for the NR and LTEsidelink devices is merely to illustrate the concept. The aspectspresented herein may be applied for any combination of a first sidelinkRAT and a second sidelink RAT. In some aspects, the sidelink resourcereservations may be different for different RATs. Thus, the manner inwhich the UE of one RAT maintains a candidate resources set for sidelinktransmission resources may be different for the two RATs. Aspectspresented herein enable, a UE for the first RAT to determine whether toexclude, from a candidate resource set within a sidelink resource poolfor the first RAT, resources that overlap with the set of reservedresources for the second RAT. In determining whether to exclude theresources reserved for the second sidelink RAT, a wireless device of thefirst sidelink RAT may use one or more metrics for the first RAT. Forexample, the wireless device may apply a reference signal receivedsignal (RSRP) threshold or a priority metric of the first RAT. In someaspects, the sidelink UE may use one or more metrics that are differentthan the metrics applied for the first RAT. For example, the wirelessdevice of the first sidelink RAT may apply a higher RSRP priority levelto the reservation, apply a lower RSRP threshold to the reservation, oruse a distance between the sidelink devices to determine whether toexclude the reserved resources of the other sidelink RAT. The wirelessdevice may then transmit a sidelink transmission using one or moresidelink transmission resources selected from the candidate resource setin the sidelink resource pool for the first RAT.

As one non-limiting example, the aspects presented herein may be appliedby an NR V2X UE to handle resources reserved for LTE V2X transmissions.The aspects presented herein may be similarly applied for other sidelinkdevice and for any combination of a first sidelink RAT and a secondsidelink RAT. The NR V2X UE may consider the resources, which arereserved for LTE V2X transmission, as reserved resources in a candidateresource set in the sidelink resource pool that the UE uses to selectresources for an NR V2X transmission.

For the NR V2X transmissions, the UE may select sidelink transmissionresources that are non-overlapping with the reserved sidelink resourcesfor LTE V2X transmissions to transmit a sidelink communication. In someexamples, the UE may treat the LTE sidelink resource reservation as anNR sidelink resource reservation, e.g., applying a similar prioritylevel and/or reference signal received power (RSRP) threshold in orderto determine whether to consider the LTE sidelink resources as reservedin a resource pool for NR sidelink. In some examples, the NR V2X UE maytreat the LTE sidelink resource reservation as a different NR sidelinkreservation, e.g., applying a new mechanism for handling the resourcereservation that is different than for other NR sidelink reservations.

The NR V2X UE may apply a priority level based on LTE sidelink, based onNR sidelink, or a new or highest priority level for NR sidelink. The NRV2X UE may measure RSRP for the LTE V2X resource reservation based on ameasurement on the LTE V2X physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH)and/or a measurement on the LTE V2X physical sidelink shared channel(PSSCH). In some examples, the NR V2X UE may make the determination ofwhether to consider the resources as reserved based on a weightedcombination of the measurements on the PSCCH and the PSSCH. In someexamples, the NR V2X UE may apply scaling to the RSRP measurement forthe LTE sidelink resource reservation before comparing the RSRPmeasurement to a threshold for NR sidelink resource management.

In some examples, the NR V2X UE may consider, as reserved, an expandedset of frequency resources for the LTE sidelink resource reservation,e.g., up to the whole bandwidth of the sidelink resource pool.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless communicationssystem and an access network 100. Some wireless communication networksmay include sidelink communication, such as V2X, D2D, ProSe, or othersidelink communication.

Vehicle-based communication devices may include communication fromvehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) (e.g., fromthe vehicle-based communication device to road infrastructure nodes suchas a Road Side Unit (RSU)), vehicle-to-network (V2N) (e.g., from thevehicle-based communication device to one or more network nodes, such asa base station), vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P), cellularvehicle-to-everything (C-V2X), and/or a combination thereof and/or withother devices, which can be collectively referred to asvehicle-to-anything (V2X) communications.

Referring again to FIG. 1 , in certain aspects, a UE 104, e.g., atransmitting Vehicle User Equipment (VUE) or other UE, may be configuredto transmit messages directly to another UE 104. The communication maybe based on V2X or other D2D communication, such as Proximity Services(ProSe), etc. Communication based on V2X and/or D2D may also betransmitted and received by other transmitting and receiving devices,such as Road Side Unit (RSU) 107, etc. Aspects of the communication maybe based on PC5 or sidelink communication e.g., as described inconnection with the example in FIG. 2 . Although the followingdescription may provide examples for V2X/D2D communication in connectionwith 5G NR, the concepts described herein may be applicable to othersimilar areas, such as LTE, LTE-A, CDMA, GSM, and other wirelesstechnologies.

A UE 104, Road Side Unit (RSU) 107, or other sidelink device may includea resource reserving component 198 configured to receive a sidelinkresource reservation from a second wireless device based on a secondRAT. The sidelink resource reservation indicating a first set ofresources of a sidelink resource pool. The resource reserving component198 may be further configured to determine whether to exclude, from acandidate resource set for the first RAT within a sidelink resource poolfor the first RAT, resources that overlap with the set of reservedresources for the second RAT.

The resource reserving component 198 may be further configured totransmit a sidelink transmission using one or more sidelink transmissionresources selected from the candidate resource set in the sidelinkresource pool for the first RAT.

The wireless communications system (also referred to as a wireless widearea network (WWAN)) includes base stations 102, UEs 104, an EvolvedPacket Core (EPC) 160, and a Core Network (e.g., 5GC) 190. The basestations 102 may include macro cells (high power cellular base station)and/or small cells (low power cellular base station). The macro cellsinclude base stations. The small cells include femtocells, picocells,and microcells.

The base stations 102 configured for 4G LTE (collectively referred to asEvolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) TerrestrialRadio Access Network (E-UTRAN)) may interface with the EPC 160 throughbackhaul links 132 (e.g., 51 interface). The base stations 102configured for NR (collectively referred to as Next Generation RAN(NG-RAN)) may interface with Core Network 190 through backhaul links184. In addition to other functions, the base stations 102 may performone or more of the following functions: transfer of user data, radiochannel ciphering and deciphering, integrity protection, headercompression, mobility control functions (e.g., handover, dualconnectivity), inter-cell interference coordination, connection setupand release, load balancing, distribution for non-access stratum (NAS)messages, NAS node selection, synchronization, radio access network(RAN) sharing, multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS), subscriberand equipment trace, RAN information management (RIM), paging,positioning, and delivery of warning messages. The base stations 102 maycommunicate directly or indirectly (e.g., through the EPC 160 or CoreNetwork 190) with each other over backhaul links 134 (e.g., X2interface). The backhaul links 134 may be wired or wireless.

The base stations 102 may wirelessly communicate with the UEs 104. Eachof the base stations 102 may provide communication coverage for arespective geographic coverage area 110. There may be overlappinggeographic coverage areas 110. For example, the small cell 102′ may havea coverage area 110′ that overlaps the coverage area 110 of one or moremacro base stations 102. A network that includes both small cell andmacro cells may be known as a heterogeneous network. A heterogeneousnetwork may also include Home Evolved Node Bs (eNBs) (HeNBs), which mayprovide service to a restricted group known as a closed subscriber group(CSG). The communication links 120 between the base stations 102 and theUEs 104 may include uplink (UL) (also referred to as reverse link)transmissions from a UE 104 to a base station 102 and/or downlink (DL)(also referred to as forward link) transmissions from a base station 102to a UE 104. The communication links 120 may use multiple-input andmultiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, including spatialmultiplexing, beamforming, and/or transmit diversity. The communicationlinks may be through one or more carriers. The base stations 102/UEs 104may use spectrum up to Y MHz (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 100, 400, etc. MHz)bandwidth per carrier allocated in a carrier aggregation of up to atotal of Yx MHz (x component carriers) used for transmission in eachdirection. The carriers may or may not be adjacent to each other.Allocation of carriers may be asymmetric with respect to DL and UL(e.g., more or less carriers may be allocated for DL than for UL). Thecomponent carriers may include a primary component carrier and one ormore secondary component carriers. A primary component carrier may bereferred to as a primary cell (PCell) and a secondary component carriermay be referred to as a secondary cell (SCell).

Certain UEs 104 may communicate with each other using device-to-device(D2D) communication link 158. The D2D communication link 158 may use theDL/UL WWAN spectrum. The D2D communication link 158 may use one or moresidelink channels, such as a physical sidelink broadcast channel(PSBCH), a physical sidelink discovery channel (PSDCH), a physicalsidelink shared channel (PSSCH), and a physical sidelink control channel(PSCCH). D2D communication may be through a variety of wireless D2Dcommunications systems, such as for example, FlashLinQ, WiMedia,Bluetooth, ZigBee, Wi-Fi based on the IEEE 802.11 standard, LTE, or NR.

The wireless communications system may further include a Wi-Fi accesspoint (AP) 150 in communication with Wi-Fi stations (STAs) 152 viacommunication links 154 in a 5 GHz unlicensed frequency spectrum. Whencommunicating in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, the STAs 152/AP 150may perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) prior to communicating inorder to determine whether the channel is available.

The small cell 102′ may operate in a licensed and/or an unlicensedfrequency spectrum. When operating in an unlicensed frequency spectrum,the small cell 102′ may employ NR and use the same 5 GHz unlicensedfrequency spectrum as used by the Wi-Fi AP 150. The small cell 102′,employing NR in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, may boost coverage toand/or increase capacity of the access network.

The electromagnetic spectrum is often subdivided, based onfrequency/wavelength, into various classes, bands, channels, etc. In 5GNR, two initial operating bands have been identified as frequency rangedesignations FR1 (410 MHz-7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz-52.6 GHz). Thefrequencies between FR1 and FR2 are often referred to as mid-bandfrequencies. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 isoften referred to (interchangeably) as a “sub-6 GHz” band in variousdocuments and articles. A similar nomenclature issue sometimes occurswith regard to FR2, which is often referred to (interchangeably) as a“millimeter wave” band in documents and articles, despite beingdifferent from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz-300 GHz)which is identified by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU)as a “millimeter wave” band.

With the above aspects in mind, unless specifically stated otherwise, itshould be understood that the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like if usedherein may broadly represent frequencies that may be less than 6 GHz,may be within FR1, or may include mid-band frequencies. Further, unlessspecifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term“millimeter wave” or the like if used herein may broadly representfrequencies that may include mid-band frequencies, may be within FR2, ormay be within the EHF band.

A base station 102, whether a small cell 102′ or a large cell (e.g.,macro base station), may include and/or be referred to as an eNB, gNodeB(gNB), or another type of base station. Some base stations, such as gNB180 may operate in a traditional sub 6 GHz spectrum, in millimeter wavefrequencies, and/or near millimeter wave frequencies in communicationwith the UE 104. When the gNB 180 operates in millimeter wave or nearmillimeter wave frequencies, the gNB 180 may be referred to as amillimeter wave base station. The millimeter wave base station 180 mayutilize beamforming 182 with the UE 104 to compensate for the path lossand short range. The base station 180 and the UE 104 may each include aplurality of antennas, such as antenna elements, antenna panels, and/orantenna arrays to facilitate the beamforming.

Devices may use beamforming to transmit and receive communication. Forexample, FIG. 1 illustrates that a base station 180 may transmit abeamformed signal to the UE 104 in one or more transmit directions 182′.The UE 104 may receive the beamformed signal from the base station 180in one or more receive directions 182″. The UE 104 may also transmit abeamformed signal to the base station 180 in one or more transmitdirections. The base station 180 may receive the beamformed signal fromthe UE 104 in one or more receive directions. The base station 180/UE104 may perform beam training to determine the best receive and transmitdirections for each of the base station 180/UE 104. The transmit andreceive directions for the base station 180 may or may not be the same.The transmit and receive directions for the UE 104 may or may not be thesame. Although beamformed signals are illustrated between UE 104 andbase station 102/180, aspects of beamforming may similarly may beapplied by UE 104 or RSU 107 to communicate with another UE 104 or RSU107, such as based on V2X, V2V, or D2D communication.

The MME 162 may be incommunication with a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) 174. The MME 162 isthe control node that processes the signaling between the UEs 104 andthe EPC 160. Generally, the MME 162 provides bearer and connectionmanagement. All user Internet protocol (IP) packets are transferredthrough the Serving Gateway 166, which itself is connected to the PDNGateway 172. The PDN Gateway 172 provides UE IP address allocation aswell as other functions. The PDN Gateway 172 and the BM-SC 170 areconnected to the IP Services 176. The IP Services 176 may include theInternet, an intranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), a PS StreamingService, and/or other IP services. The BM-SC 170 may provide functionsfor MBMS user service provisioning and delivery. The BM-SC 170 may serveas an entry point for content provider MBMS transmission, may be used toauthorize and initiate MBMS Bearer Services within a public land mobilenetwork (PLMN), and may be used to schedule MBMS transmissions. The MBMSGateway 168 may be used to distribute MBMS traffic to the base stations102 belonging to a Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN)area broadcasting a particular service, and may be responsible forsession management (start/stop) and for collecting eMBMS relatedcharging information.

The Core Network 190 may include an Access and Mobility ManagementFunction (AMF) 192, other AMFs 193, a Session Management Function (SMF)194, and a User Plane Function (UPF) 195. The AMF 192 may be incommunication with a Unified Data Management (UDM) 196. The AMF 192 isthe control node that processes the signaling between the UEs 104 andthe Core Network 190. Generally, the AMF 192 provides QoS flow andsession management. All user Internet protocol (IP) packets aretransferred through the UPF 195. The UPF 195 provides UE IP addressallocation as well as other functions. The UPF 195 is connected to theIP Services 197. The IP Services 197 may include the Internet, anintranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), a PS Streaming Service,and/or other IP services.

The base station may also be referred to as a gNB, Node B, evolved NodeB (eNB), an access point, a base transceiver station, a radio basestation, a radio transceiver, a transceiver function, a basic serviceset (BSS), an extended service set (ESS), a transmit reception point(TRP), or some other suitable terminology. The base station 102 providesan access point to the EPC 160 or Core Network 190 for a UE 104.Examples of UEs 104 include a cellular phone, a smart phone, a sessioninitiation protocol (SIP) phone, a laptop, a personal digital assistant(PDA), a satellite radio, a global positioning system, a multimediadevice, a video device, a digital audio player (e.g., MP3 player), acamera, a game console, a tablet, a smart device, a wearable device, avehicle, an electric meter, a gas pump, a large or small kitchenappliance, a healthcare device, an implant, a sensor/actuator, adisplay, or any other similar functioning device. Some of the UEs 104may be referred to as IoT devices (e.g., parking meter, gas pump,toaster, vehicles, heart monitor, etc.). The UE 104 may also be referredto as a station, a mobile station, a subscriber station, a mobile unit,a subscriber unit, a wireless unit, a remote unit, a mobile device, awireless device, a wireless communications device, a remote device, amobile subscriber station, an access terminal, a mobile terminal, awireless terminal, a remote terminal, a handset, a user agent, a mobileclient, a client, or some other suitable terminology.

FIG. 2 illustrates example diagrams 200 and 210 illustrating examplesslot structures that may be used for wireless communication between UE104 and UE 104′, e.g., for sidelink communication. The slot structuremay be within a 5G/NR frame structure. Although the followingdescription may be focused on 5G NR, the concepts described herein maybe applicable to other similar areas, such as LTE, LTE-A, CDMA, GSM, andother wireless technologies. This is merely one example, and otherwireless communication technologies may have a different frame structureand/or different channels. A frame (10 ms) may be divided into 10equally sized subframes (1 ms). Each subframe may include one or moretime slots. Subframes may also include mini-slots, which may include 7,4, or 2 symbols. Each slot may include 7 or 14 symbols, depending on theslot configuration. For slot configuration 0, each slot may include 14symbols, and for slot configuration 1, each slot may include 7 symbols.Diagram 200 illustrates a single slot transmission, e.g., which maycorrespond to a 0.5 ms transmission time interval (TTI). Diagram 210illustrates an example two-slot aggregation, e.g., an aggregation of two0.5 ms TTIs. Diagram 200 illustrates a single RB, whereas diagram 210illustrates N RBs. In diagram 210, 10 RBs being used for control ismerely one example. The number of RBs may differ.

A resource grid may be used to represent the frame structure. Each timeslot may include a resource block (RB) (also referred to as physical RBs(PRBs)) that extends 12 consecutive subcarriers. The resource grid isdivided into multiple resource elements (REs). The number of bitscarried by each RE depends on the modulation scheme. As illustrated inFIG. 2 , some of the REs may comprise control information, e.g., alongwith demodulation RS (DMRS). FIG. 2 also illustrates that symbol(s) maycomprise CSI-RS. The symbols in FIG. 2 that are indicated for DMRS orCSI-RS indicate that the symbol comprises DMRS or CSI-RS REs. Suchsymbols may also comprise REs that include data. For example, if anumber of ports for DMRS or CSI-RS is 1 and a comb-2 pattern is used forDMRS/CSI-RS, then half of the REs may comprise the RS and the other halfof the REs may comprise data. A CSI-RS resource may start at any symbolof a slot, and may occupy 1, 2, or 4 symbols depending on a configurednumber of ports. CSI-RS can be periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic(e.g., based on control information triggering). For time/frequencytracking, CSI-RS may be either periodic or aperiodic. CSI-RS may betransmitted in bursts of two or four symbols that are spread across oneor two slots. The control information may comprise Sidelink ControlInformation (SCI). At least one symbol may be used for feedback, asdescribed herein. A symbol prior to and/or after the feedback may beused for turnaround between reception of data and transmission of thefeedback. Although symbol 12 is illustrated for data, it may instead bea gap symbol to enable turnaround for feedback in symbol 13. Anothersymbol, e.g., at the end of the slot may be used as a gap. The gapenables a device to switch from operating as a transmitting device toprepare to operate as a receiving device, e.g., in the following slot.Data may be transmitted in the remaining REs, as illustrated. The datamay comprise the data message described herein. The position of any ofthe SCI, feedback, and LBT symbols may be different than the exampleillustrated in FIG. 2 . Multiple slots may be aggregated together. FIG.2 also illustrates an example aggregation of two slot. The aggregatednumber of slots may also be larger than two. When slots are aggregated,the symbols used for feedback and/or a gap symbol may be different thatfor a single slot. While feedback is not illustrated for the aggregatedexample, symbol(s) in a multiple slot aggregation may also be allocatedfor feedback, as illustrated in the one slot example.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram 300 of a first wireless communication device310 in communication with a second wireless communication device 350. Insome examples, the devices 310 and 350 may communicate based on V2X orother D2D communication. The communication may be based, e.g., onsidelink using a PC5 interface. The devices 310 and the 350 may comprisea UE, an RSU, a base station, etc. Packets may be provided to acontroller/processor 375 that implements layer 3 and layer 2functionality. Layer 3 includes a radio resource control (RRC) layer,and layer 2 includes a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, aradio link control (RLC) layer, and a medium access control (MAC) layer.

The transmit (TX) processor 316 and the receive (RX) processor 370implement layer 1 functionality associated with various signalprocessing functions. Layer 1, which includes a physical (PHY) layer,may include error detection on the transport channels, forward errorcorrection (FEC) coding/decoding of the transport channels,interleaving, rate matching, mapping onto physical channels,modulation/demodulation of physical channels, and MIMO antennaprocessing. The TX processor 316 handles mapping to signalconstellations based on various modulation schemes (e.g., binaryphase-shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK),M-phase-shift keying (M-PSK), M-quadrature amplitude modulation(M-QAM)). The coded and modulated symbols may then be split intoparallel streams. Each stream may then be mapped to an OFDM subcarrier,multiplexed with a reference signal (e.g., pilot) in the time and/orfrequency domain, and then combined together using an Inverse FastFourier Transform (IFFT) to produce a physical channel carrying a timedomain OFDM symbol stream. The OFDM stream is spatially precoded toproduce multiple spatial streams. Channel estimates from a channelestimator 374 may be used to determine the coding and modulation scheme,as well as for spatial processing. The channel estimate may be derivedfrom a reference signal and/or channel condition feedback transmitted bythe device 350. Each spatial stream may then be provided to a differentantenna 320 via a separate transmitter 318TX. Each transmitter 318TX maymodulate an RF carrier with a respective spatial stream fortransmission.

At the device 350, each receiver 354RX receives a signal through itsrespective antenna 352. Each receiver 354RX recovers informationmodulated onto an RF carrier and provides the information to the receive(RX) processor 356. The TX processor 368 and the RX processor 356implement layer 1 functionality associated with various signalprocessing functions. The RX processor 356 may perform spatialprocessing on the information to recover any spatial streams destinedfor the device 350. If multiple spatial streams are destined for thedevice 350, they may be combined by the RX processor 356 into a singleOFDM symbol stream. The RX processor 356 then converts the OFDM symbolstream from the time-domain to the frequency domain using a Fast FourierTransform (FFT). The frequency domain signal comprises a separate OFDMsymbol stream for each subcarrier of the OFDM signal. The symbols oneach subcarrier, and the reference signal, are recovered and demodulatedby determining the most likely signal constellation points transmittedby device 310. These soft decisions may be based on channel estimatescomputed by the channel estimator 358. The soft decisions are thendecoded and deinterleaved to recover the data and control signals thatwere originally transmitted by device 310 on the physical channel. Thedata and control signals are then provided to the controller/processor359, which implements layer 3 and layer 2 functionality.

The controller/processor 359 can be associated with a memory 360 thatstores program codes and data. The memory 360 may be referred to as acomputer-readable medium. The controller/processor 359 may providedemultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packetreassembly, deciphering, header decompression, and control signalprocessing. The controller/processor 359 is also responsible for errordetection using an ACK and/or NACK protocol to support HARQ operations.

Similar to the functionality described in connection with thetransmission by device 310, the controller/processor 359 may provide RRClayer functionality associated with system information (e.g., MIB, SIBs)acquisition, RRC connections, and measurement reporting; PDCP layerfunctionality associated with header compression/decompression, andsecurity (ciphering, deciphering, integrity protection, integrityverification); RLC layer functionality associated with the transfer ofupper layer PDUs, error correction through ARQ, concatenation,segmentation, and reassembly of RLC SDUs, re-segmentation of RLC dataPDUs, and reordering of RLC data PDUs; and MAC layer functionalityassociated with mapping between logical channels and transport channels,multiplexing of MAC SDUs onto TBs, demultiplexing of MAC SDUs from TBs,scheduling information reporting, error correction through HARQ,priority handling, and logical channel prioritization.

Channel estimates derived by a channel estimator 358 from a referencesignal or feedback transmitted by device 310 may be used by the TXprocessor 368 to select the appropriate coding and modulation schemes,and to facilitate spatial processing. The spatial streams generated bythe TX processor 368 may be provided to different antenna 352 viaseparate transmitters 354TX. Each transmitter 354TX may modulate an RFcarrier with a respective spatial stream for transmission.

The transmission is processed at the device 310 in a manner similar tothat described in connection with the receiver function at the device350. Each receiver 318RX receives a signal through its respectiveantenna 320. Each receiver 318RX recovers information modulated onto anRF carrier and provides the information to a RX processor 370.

The controller/processor 375 can be associated with a memory 376 thatstores program codes and data. The memory 376 may be referred to as acomputer-readable medium. The controller/processor 375 providesdemultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packetreassembly, deciphering, header decompression, control signalprocessing. The controller/processor 375 is also responsible for errordetection using an ACK and/or NACK protocol to support HARQ operations.

At least one of the TX processor 368, the RX processor 356, and thecontroller/processor 359 may be configured to perform aspects inconnection with resource reserving component 198 of FIG. 1 .

In some wireless communication environments, sidelink communicationbased on multiple RATs may use overlapping frequency resources, e.g.,overlapping channels. The transmissions based on one RAT may collide,e.g., overlap in time and frequency, with the transmission based on theother RAT. The collision may reduce the sidelink performance of bothRATs.

FIG. 4 illustrates an example 400 of sidelink communication betweendevices. The communication may be based on a slot structure comprisingaspects described in connection with FIG. 2 . For example, transmittingUE 402 may transmit a transmission 414, e.g., comprising a controlchannel and/or a corresponding data channel, that may be received byreceiving UE 404. A control channel may include information for decodinga data channel and may also be used by receiving device to avoidinterference by refraining from transmitting on the occupied resourcesduring a data transmission. The number of TTIs, as well as the RBs thatwill be occupied by the data transmission, may be indicated in a controlmessage from the transmitting device. Although FIG. 4 illustrates awireless signal 425 between the UE 402 and the UE 404, the transmission414 may be a unicast sidelink transmission between the UE 402 and the UE404, a multicast sidelink transmission from the UE 402 to multiple UEs,or a broadcast transmission for reception by any UE within atransmission range. The UEs 402, 404, 406, 408 may each be capable ofoperating as a transmitting device in addition to operating as areceiving device. Thus, UEs 406, 408 are illustrated as transmittingtransmissions 416, 420. Additionally, or alternatively, RSU 407 mayreceive communication from and/or transmit communication 418 to one ormore UEs 402, 404, 406, 408. As the UEs may autonomously select time andfrequency resources for sidelink transmissions, the UE 402 and/or 404may employ a sensing and reservation procedure to identify resourcesthat are reserved by other UEs as a part of selecting time and frequencyresources for a sidelink transmission. As well, different UEs mayoperate based on different RATs. Some UEs of 402, 404, 406, 408 or RSU407 may include a resource reserving component 198, as described inconnection with FIG. 1 that enables the UE to receive sidelink resourcereservations for one RAT and to determine whether to exclude, from acandidate resource set for the first RAT within a sidelink resource poolfor the first RAT, resources that overlap with the set of reservedresources for the second RAT. The UE may transmit a sidelinktransmission using one or more sidelink transmission resources selectedfrom the candidate resource set in the sidelink resource pool for thefirst RAT.

For example, the UEs 402 and 404 may exchange sidelink communication,such as LTE (e.g., LTE V2X, LTE D2D, etc.) and the UEs 406 and 408 mayexchange sidelink communication based on a second RAT, such as NR (e.g.,NR V2X, NR D2D, etc.). Although the example may be described for LTE V2Xand NR V2X to illustrate the concept, the aspects presented herein maybe applied to other sidelink communication based on LTE and NR and mayalso be applied to other sidelink communication including RATs that aredifferent than NR and LTE.

LTE V2X includes PSCCH and PSSCH that are frequency division multiplexed(FDM) in a same subframe. Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) OFDM waveformmay be used with 15 Kilo-Hertz(kHz) subcarrier spacing (SCS). SeparateDFT precode and reference signals (RS) may be used for PSSCH and PSCCH.As illustrated in example 500 in FIG. 5A, PSCCH 502 and PSSCH 504 mightnot be adjacent in frequency. In some aspects, the two PRBs may beallocated to the LTE PSCCH 502. Sub-channel size may be {5, 6, 10, 15,20, 25, 50, 75, 100} PRBs for adjacent PSCCH and PSSCH and {4, 5, 6, 8,9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 30, 48, 72, 96} PRBs for non-adjacent PSCCHand PSSCH. Reservation of resource may be periodic with up to tworetransmissions in a period with period values [20, 50], 100, 200, . . ., 1000 milliseconds (ms) with no feedback. reference signal receivedpower (RSRP) for resource selection may be measured on PSSCH DMRS.

For NR V2X, as illustrated in example 550 in FIG. 5B, PSCCH 512 andPSSCH 514 are FDMed and time division multiplexed (TDM) in a samesubframe. Cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(CP-OFDM) waveform may be used with [15], 30, [60] kHz SCS. Separate RSmay be used for PSCCH 512 and PSSCH 514. 10, 12, 15, 20, or 25 PRBs and2 or 3 OFDM symbols may be allocated for the PSCCH 512. Sub-channel sizemay be {10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100} PRBs. Reservations may be aperiodicor periodic with up to 32 retransmissions with period values 1 to 100,200, . . . , 1000 ms. Feedback on PSFCH may be optionally enabled. RSRPfor resource selection is measured on PSCCH or PSSCH DMRS.

Even though the configurations for NR V2X transmissions for UEs 406 and408 and LTE V2X transmissions for UEs 402 and 404 are different, thetransmissions may be based on overlapping time and frequency resourcesleading to collisions between NR V2X transmissions and LTE V2Xtransmissions. The UEs 402 and 404 may reserve resources for the LTE V2Xtransmissions that overlap with the resources for the NR V2Xtransmissions. Such collision may adversely impact the performance ofboth the NR V2X transmissions and LTE V2X transmissions. To mitigate thecollision issue, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products arepresented herein to facilitate coexistence of sidelink communication formultiple RATs using overlapping transmission resources.

The term “sidelink transmission resources” may refer to radio resourcessuch as frequency and time resources used for sidelink transmission.Sidelink transmission resources may be defined and included in asidelink resource pool that defines subsets of time resources andresource blocks available for various sidelink transmission/receptions.The term “reserved resources” may refer to radio resources reserved fora transmission. The reservation may be indicated to other devices insidelink control information, for example. Wireless devices may monitorfor reservations from other sidelink devices and may avoid usingresources overlapping with the reserved resources in transmissions whenselecting sidelink transmission resources.

FIG. 6 illustrates an example communication flow 600 between wirelessdevices. As illustrated in FIG. 6 , a first wireless device (such as aUE) 602 operating on a first RAT (e.g., NR V2X) receives a sidelinkresource reservation 608 based on a second RAT (e.g., LTE V2X) from asecond wireless device (such as a UE) 604. The first wireless device 602may be configured to decode the sidelink resource reservation 608 of theother RAT, at 610. In some aspects, the first wireless device 602 maytreat the sidelink resource reservation 608 of the second RAT as aperiodic reservation for the first RAT. For example, an NR sidelinkdevice may treat an LTE sidelink reservation as an NR resourcereservation. In some aspects, the first wireless device 602 may treatthe sidelink resource reservation 608 of the other RAT as a specialsidelink periodic reservation. For example, an NR sidelink device maytreat an LTE sidelink reservation as an NR periodic resource reservationthat is handled differently than other NR periodic resourcereservations.

After decoding the sidelink resource reservation 608, the first wirelessdevice 602 may consider sidelink transmission resources as reserved, at612, to avoid collision between sidelink transmissions of the first RATand sidelink transmissions of the second RAT. The sidelink transmissionresources that overlap with the sidelink transmission resourcesconsidered as reserved may be excluded from further sidelinktransmissions, such as described in connection with FIGS. 7A and 7B. Insome aspects, the first wireless device 602 may use sidelinktransmission resources that are non-overlapping with the sidelinktransmission resources that are considered as reserved. In some aspects,the first wireless device 602 may avoid using sidelink transmissionresources that overlap with the sidelink transmission resources that areconsidered as reserved. In some examples, the first wireless device 602may exclude the resources that overlap with the sidelink transmissionresources that are considered as reserved from candidate resources in aresource pool when selecting resources for a sidelink transmission. Thefirst wireless device 602 may determine to consider the sidelinktransmission resources as reserved resources based on a ProSe per packetpriority (PPPP) level. The PPPP level may be based on PPPP for the firstRAT (e.g. a PPPP for LTE sidelink), a configured PPPP for the second RAT(e.g., a PPPP for NR sidelink), or a highest PPPP for the second RAT(e.g., a highest PPPP for NR sidelink).

In some aspects, the first wireless device 602 may determine whether toconsider the sidelink transmission resources as reserved resources, at612, based on one or more metrics including comparing a measured RSRPfor the sidelink resource reservation 608 of the first RAT to areference signal received power (RSRP) threshold. The RSRP may bemeasured different between the two RATs and/or may be applieddifferently between the two RATs. In some aspects, the RSRP thresholdmay be a function of the PPPP of a transmission packet and the PPPP ofthe reservation.

For example, in LTE, the RSRP for a sidelink resource reservation may bemeasured based on PSSCH DMRS. As well, there may be a different powerspectral density (PSD) between the RBs comprising the PSSCH and the RBscomprising the PSCCH for an LTE V2X resource reservation. In contrast,an NR V2X UE may measure the RSRP of the resource reservationdifferently, e.g., PSSCH DMRS, or PSCCH DMRS.

In some aspects, the first wireless device 602 in FIG. 6 may measure theRSRP of the sidelink resource reservation 608 for the second RAT basedon a PSCCH DMRS, a PSSCH DMRS, or a combination of both the PSCCH DMRSand the PSSCH DMRS. For example, the first wireless device 602 (as an NRsidelink device) may determine the RSRP based on a weighted average, ofthe LTE PSCCH DMRS and the LTE PSSCH DMRS.

Additionally, or alternatively, the first wireless device 602 may applya scaling factor before determining whether the RSRP of the LTE sidelinkresource reservation 608 meets the threshold. By applying a scalingfactor before determining whether the RSRP of the LTE sidelink resourcereservation 608 meets the threshold, the first wireless device 602 maytake into account differences in NR and LTE sidelink transmissionbandwidth and power spectral density (PSD). For example, there may be a3 decibel PSD difference between RBs containing PSSCH and RBs containingPSCCH for LTE V2X transmissions. In some examples, in order to refrainfrom scaling, the UE may apply a scaling factor of 1.

At 612, the first wireless device 602 considers the sidelinktransmission resources for sidelink transmission for the first RAT(e.g., an NR sidelink resource pool) as reserved resources based on thesidelink resource reservation 608 for the second RAT. In some aspects,the first wireless device 602 may consider, as reserved, expandedfrequency resources based on the sidelink resource reservation 608,e.g., beyond the specific frequency resources reserved by the UE 604.For example, the first wireless device 602 may consider, as reserved, awhole bandwidth that includes resources reserved by the sidelinkresource reservation 608.

In some aspects, a PPPP may be defined for sidelink reservations of thesecond RAT and used by the first wireless device 602 to determinewhether to consider, as reserved, the sidelink resources for the firstRAT. In some aspects, the PPPP may correspond to a smallest or a minusinfinite decibel milliwatt RSRP threshold for sidelink reservations sothat radio resources reserved for the second RAT are considered asreserved by the first wireless device 602 if the first wireless device602 decodes the PSCCH that includes the reservation 608. The firstwireless device may consider, as reserved, the resources without an RSRPmeasurement if the PSCCH is decoded. In some aspects, the first wirelessdevice 602 may use distance based consideration based on a distancebetween the first wireless device 602 and the UE 604. For example, thefirst wireless device 602 may consider the sidelink resources in thereservation 608 as reserved resources if the distance between the firstwireless device 602 and the UE 604 is within a range. The first wirelessdevice 602 may decode basic safety messages (BSM) from the UE 604containing location information and may use the location information todetermine the distance between the first wireless device 602 and the UE604 for the distance based consideration. A distance based considerationmay be more robust against blocking and non-line of sight (NLOS)conditions.

After considering sidelink transmission resources as reserved based onthe sidelink resource reservation 608, the first wireless device 602 mayselect sidelink transmission resources that do not overlap with theresources that are considered as reserved and use the selected resourcesfor sidelink transmission 614 (e.g., an NR sidelink transmission such asNR V2X) between the first wireless device 602 and a third wirelessdevice 606 operating based on the second RAT. For example, the wirelessdevice may exclude the resources that are considered as reserved fromcandidate resources when selecting sidelink resources for transmissionbased on the first RAT.

As illustrated in example 700 of FIG. 7A, a wireless device operatingbased on a first RAT, such as the first wireless device 602 described inconnection with FIG. 6 , may receive a resource reservation indicatingsidelink transmission resources 704 from a wireless device operatingbased on a second RAT, such as the second wireless device 604 describedin connection with FIG. 6 . The wireless device may consider thesidelink transmission resources 704 as reserved based on the resourcereservation from the wireless device operating based on a second RAT andmay exclude, from a candidate set of sidelink resources 702 for thefirst RAT, at least one or more candidate resources that overlap withthe sidelink transmission resources reserved for the sidelinktransmissions of the second sidelink RAT. In some aspects, a lower layerof the wireless device may determine a subset of resources from which ahigher layer may select resources for PSSCH/PSCCH transmissions from thewireless device. The wireless device may exclude candidate resourcesthat meet conditions, such as reception of an SCI from another deviceindicating a resource reservation for the same sidelink RAT and havingan RSRP measurement that meets a threshold. As presented herein, thewireless device may determine to further exclude at least one or morecandidate resources from the subset of candidate resources that overlapwith the sidelink transmission resources reserved for sidelinktransmissions of a different RAT. As with the resources reserved forsidelink transmissions of the same RAT, the UE may determine if one ormore conditions are met in order to determine whether to consider thereserved resources for the second RAT sidelink transmission as beingreserved resources for resource selection of sidelink resources for thefirst RAT. If the sidelink transmission resources 704 for the second RATincludes a set of slots numbered 24-32, the set of slots numbered 24-32may be considered as reserved (which may also be referred to as beingmarked, marked as reserved, or marked as reserved by an interferer) forpurposes of resource selection for the first sidelink RAT. The wirelessdevice may exclude the set of slots numbered 24-32 from the candidateresource set for resource selection for the first sidelink RAT and mayrefrain from utilizing resources that overlap with the set of slotsnumbered 24-32 when selecting resources for transmitting PSSCH/PSCCHbased on the first RAT. The wireless device may exclude additionalresources beyond the specific overlapping resources. The wireless devicemay refrain from selecting resources that overlap, at least partially,with the resources reserved for the second sidelink RAT transmission, asillustrated in FIG. 7B. FIG. 7B illustrates that RB 0-50 are reservedfor the second sidelink transmission 706. For example, the wirelessdevice may refrain from utilizing a set of resources that includes RBsin the same slot that partially or fully overlap the reserved resourcesfor the second sidelink RAT, e.g., as illustrated at 708. The wirelessdevice may also refrain from utilizing a set of resources that partiallyoverlaps the resources reserved for the second sidelink RAT, e.g., RBnumbered 40-80, e.g., as illustrated at 710.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart 800 of a method of wireless communication. methodmay be performed by a wireless device (e.g., the UE 104, the UE 408, thewireless device 602, the apparatus 902) operating based on a first RAT,such as NR. Optional aspects are illustrated with a dashed line. Themethod enables the wireless device to help to avoid collisions withsidelink transmissions of a different RAT.

At 802, the wireless device receives a sidelink resource reservationfrom a second wireless device based on a second RAT. The sidelinkresource reservation indicating indicating a set of reserved resources.For example, reception 802 may be performed by sidelink resourcereservation reception component 942 of FIG. 9 . The reception 802 mayinclude aspects described in connection with LTE sidelink resourcereservation 608 of FIG. 6 . In some aspects, the first RAT includes NRsidelink communication and the second RAT includes LTE sidelinkcommunication.

At 804, the wireless device determines whether to exclude, from acandidate resource set for the first RAT within a sidelink resource poolfor the first RAT, resources that overlap with the set of reservedresources for the second RAT. In some aspects, the wireless device mayexclude resources that overlap with the first set of reserved resourcesfor the second RAT from a candidate resource set for the first RATwithin a sidelink resource pool for the first RAT, as illustrated at806. For example, the wireless device may exclude one or more resourcesthat are at least partially overlapping with the first set of reservedresources. The determination at 804 may be performed by sidelinktransmission resource determination component 944 of FIG. 9 . Thedetermination 804 may include aspects described in connection with 610and 612 of FIG. 6 .

In some aspects, the first wireless device determines whether toexclude, from a candidate resource set for the first RAT within asidelink resource pool for the first RAT, resources that overlap withthe set of reserved resources for the second RAT using one or moremetrics for a periodic sidelink resource reservation for the first RAT,as illustrated at 812. In some aspects, the one or more metrics includesa RSRP threshold for the periodic sidelink resource reservation for thefirst RAT, as illustrated at 814. In some aspects, the one or moremetrics includes a priority metric for the periodic sidelink resourcereservation for the first RAT as illustrated at 816. In some aspects,the first wireless device determines a priority of the set of reservedresources for the first RAT based on a PPPP level for sidelinkcommunication based on the second RAT, a configured PPPP for thesidelink communication based on the first RAT, or a highest PPPP levelfor the sidelink communication based on the first RAT. The RSRPthreshold may be determined based on the PPPP. In some aspects, thefirst wireless device determines an RSRP of the set of reservedresources of the first RAT based on an RSRP measurement for one or moreof a PSSCH of the sidelink resource reservation from the second wirelessdevice or a PSCCH of the sidelink resource reservation from the secondwireless device. For example, the wireless device may use the measuredRSRP to determine whether to exclude the first set of reserved resourcesfrom the candidate resources set of the first RAT, as illustrated at826.

In some aspects, the first wireless device determines the RSRP of theset of resources based on a combination of a first RSRP measurement ofthe PSCCH and a second RSRP measurement of the PSSCH. In some aspects,as part of 804, the wireless device determines, at 828, a combined RSRPmeasurement based on a weighted average of the first RSRP measurementand the second RSRP measurement. In some aspects, as part of 804, thewireless device applies, at 830, a scaling factor to the RSRP. Thescaling factor may be 1 in some aspects. In some aspects, wirelessdevice may exclude an expanded set of frequency resources for thesidelink resource reservation.

In some aspects, the first wireless device determines whether toexclude, from a candidate resource set for the first RAT within asidelink resource pool for the first RAT, resources that overlap withthe set of reserved resources for the second RAT using one or moremetrics, that are different than a set of metrics that the firstwireless device applies for sidelink resource reservations of the firstRAT, as illustrated at 818. In some aspects, the one or more metrics mayinclude a higher priority level for the sidelink resource reservationbased on the second RAT than for sidelink resource reservations based onthe first RAT, as illustrated at 820.

In some aspects, the one or more metrics includes a lower RSRP thresholdfor the sidelink resource reservation based on the second RAT than forsidelink resource reservations based on the first RAT, as illustrated at822. In some aspects, the lower RSRP threshold may include a minusinfinite RSRP threshold. In some aspects, the first wireless devicedetermines whether to exclude, from a candidate resource set for thefirst RAT within a sidelink resource pool for the first RAT, resourcesthat overlap with the set of reserved resources for the second RAT usinga distance between the first wireless device and the second wirelessdevice, as illustrated at 824. In some aspects, the first wirelessdevice determines whether to exclude, from a candidate resource set forthe first RAT within a sidelink resource pool for the first RAT,resources that overlap with the set of reserved resources for the secondRAT based on a measured RSRP, as illustrated at 826.

At 810, the wireless device transmits a sidelink transmission using oneor more sidelink transmission resources selected from the candidateresource set in the sidelink resource pool for the first RAT. In someaspects, the wireless device may not select sidelink transmissionresources that overlaps with the resources that are considered asreserved, such as illustrated at 808. For example, transmission 810 maybe performed by RAT transmission component 946 of FIG. 9 . Thetransmission 810 may include aspects described in connection with 610,612, and 614 of FIG. 6 . In some aspects, the first wireless deviceexcludes an expanded set of frequency resources based on the sidelinkresources reservation, as illustrated at 808. For example, the wirelessdevice may exclude a full bandwidth of the sidelink resource pool duringtime resources reserved by the sidelink resource reservation.

FIG. 9 is a diagram 900 illustrating an example of a hardwareimplementation for an apparatus 902. The apparatus 902 is a wirelessdevice and includes a baseband unit 904. The baseband unit 904 maycommunicate through a cellular RF transceiver with the UE 104. Thebaseband unit 904 may include a computer-readable medium/memory. Thebaseband unit 904 is responsible for general processing, including theexecution of software stored on the computer-readable medium/memory. Thesoftware, when executed by the baseband unit 904, causes the basebandunit 904 to perform the various functions described supra. Thecomputer-readable medium/memory may also be used for storing data thatis manipulated by the baseband unit 904 when executing software. Thebaseband unit 904 further includes a reception component 930, acommunication manager 932, and a transmission component 934. Thecommunication manager 932 includes the one or more illustratedcomponents. The components within the communication manager 932 may bestored in the computer-readable medium/memory and/or configured ashardware within the baseband unit 904. The baseband unit 904 may be acomponent of the device 310/450 and may include the memory 360/376and/or at least one of the TX processor 316/368, the RX processor356/370, and the controller/processor 359/375.
